The Gold Key Release is a self-liberation procedure used to dissolve the grip of trouble and operate "in the Zone" more.
More than an athletic or artistic matter, "Being in the Zone" is a matter of being free of entanglements, so results line up with intentions.
How to
Soothe and Dissolve Frustration and Regret
and Get Moving, Again
How The Gold Key Release
Lightens the Load
Every able seaman knows the obvious: to get underway, he must first loosen his moorings -- untie from the the dock. To run fast on the water, he knows the outside of the hull must be free of barnacles (clinging shellfish that attach themselves to the hull and add drag to movement through the water) and the bilge -- stagnant, brackish water inside the hull -- be pumped out, regularly, kept at a minimum.
To get moving in life, you've got to loosen your ties -- the ties in your mind and memory -- to old ways of seeing and doing things. You've got to clean the barnacles (habitual and undesirable attachments -- hangers-on that drain your energy) from your mind and life. You've got to empty your bilge -- emotional baggage.
Unfortunately, most people don't know how to "lighten their own load" -- not really. Instead of cleaning up and loosening old ties, they apply more effort. They use the popular methods -- or suffer helplessly and live out their lives in resignation in one way or another.
There's a better way to lighten the load:
The Gold Key Release
The Gold Key Release lightens the load -- and with no sense of loss, no self-conflict in the name of what "should" work or what everybody else seems to "know" is right.
Fear of loss is a brake upon our willingness to lighten up. Lighten the load without any sense of loss and you develop more enthusiasm for the lightening-up process, more enthusiasm for your goal. Lightening up, we run faster and higher on the water.
The sense of self-conflict comes when we oppose ourselves for the sake of ideals and "supposed-tos". This is the mood of, "no pain, no gain". There's a better way.
When we release with The Gold Key Release, we do not fall into adversity; we dissolve adversity and our own limitations. We start with a clean slate. We come back to ourselves.
How is The Gold Key Release, "Psycho-Active?"
The Stories of Our Lives
Success in life -- and personal limitations in life -- generally involve one or more of our most basic personal faculties:
The Stories of Our Lives
Success in life -- and personal limitations in life -- generally involve one or more of our most basic personal faculties:
- attention span
- power of intention
- control of memory
- healthy imagination
It happens that all four of those faculties work together as the foundation of our abilities. How much depth of experience can you have with a short attention span? (With NO attention span, you would have no experience, whatsoever.) The same is true of the other three faculties, in their own way.
Here's what happens when we're unbalanced among those faculties:
Short attention span and distraction lead to overlooked problems and to accidents. Weak or scattered intention leads to wasted effort and untoward results. Poor control of memory leads to mistakes and to entrapment by oppressive thoughts and emotions. Unhealthy imagination leaves us stuck with "more of the same" and to misperceptions that lead to trouble.
Does that seem familiar? explain some things?
Some may say, "Attack the problem!"
This little piece of sage advice may be "popular wisdom" ("fight" this, "fight" that), along with "try harder" -- but there's a little problem with, "attack the problem":
Most efforts to improve life circumstances do so at the same disadvantage that led to problems, to begin with -- one or more of those four faculties is off-line or "off the radar". It makes life feel like an unfair challenge, like playing cards without a full deck. It gives rise to sayings like, "The Road to Hell is Paved with Good Intentions".
As it is no-doubt obvious to you, we tend to be more or less developed in those four faculties, varying according to the area of our life. We have "problem areas", not just individual problems. Trauma distorts those faculties. Insufficient or unbalanced development leaves the person feeling a sense of disadvantage.
All efforts at personal development depend upon those very four faculties of intelligence: attention, imagination, intention, memory, and yet, they remain outside the main focus of education, developed only indirectly and haphazardly. You may have suspected: our education may be deficient -- but in an unsuspected way.
Most efforts at personal development work with secondary by-products of those faculties, such as, "learning" -- erroneously regarded as the primary product of education -- or with beliefs, positive thinking, visualizations, motivation.
The proper, primary product of education is mastery of attention, memory, intention, and imagination -- which underlie all skills, talents, and knowledge. I've given a name to those four faculties of intelligence, which always come together: The TetraSeed. "Tetra" means, "four"; "seed" means what it says; The TetraSeed is exactly what the name implies -- a four-part seed for success. You may test my words.
When we recover access to all four of those faculties for any area of life, in balance, the fix we are in immediately softens and starts to change -- or it may dissolve, altogether, leaving us in a free, natural-feeling state.
The TetraSeed is the basic, essential key to creation, to function, and to dissolution or change. There are no exceptions. Test that idea, for yourself, by intuition or with practice of what's offered, here.

Break Ground with The Gold Key Release, then Seed for Success
As people tend to be too cluttered and tied up in their lives and minds, already, I offer a way to DISSOLVE the accumulated mass and subconscious torpor that hold people stuck, to make for a more mercurial mind. It's a great relief. It's breaking ground.
Then, there are procedures for seeding for success.
The Gold Key Release directly taps the potential of all four faculties of The TetraSeed to unlock our involvement in situations, to permit new, spontaneously creative actions that produce rapid improvements of well-being. "Rapid" means, "noticeable in minutes." The benefits accumulate.

Intelligent Empowerment 101
Getting Free from Stuckness and Conditioning
In this very psychoactive course, we'll practice TetraSeed Transformation procedures in personally relevant and generally interesting ways. We'll have psychoactive talks on provocative topics that will have unusual -- but somehow natural-feeling -- effects upon your state of consciousness, mind, and life. You'll feel different -- and more like yourself.
The Set-Up
~~ and ~~
Learn how, by activating and balancing four basic faculties of our intelligence -- ATTENTION, MEMORY, INTENTION, IMAGINATION -- we can, at will, free ourselves from obvious -- and not so obvious -- obsolete conditioning that causes stuck places in life. We get moving, again, riding more lightly upon the water, more on-course.
Once we dissolve the stickiness of an area of our life, the course of our life and the tenor of our life changes, spontaneously and progressively, immediately and the days to come -- and so do we change -- both in ways related to the particular area of life to which we have applied The Gold Key Release and in unpredictable, but surprisingly beneficial and pleasant ways, in general.
Not to say that there won't be ups and downs; the sea's like that. But we'll navigate better and sail faster.

"In the weeks following Levine's triumph, the Jewish-American community was in a state of rapture as across the sea one of its own was received by European dignitaries from Hindenburg to Mussolini. On Manhattan's Lower East Side, the Jews spoke of little else.
"'The anti-Semites in Germany and the anti-Semites around the world will have to take their hats off to Levine the Jew,' pronounced the New York Yiddish daily newspaper Der Tog. 'No longer will we be obliged to prove that Jews are as capable and strong on the field of physical bravery as on the field of intellectual achievements.'
"Within a month a half-dozen songs had been written in Levine's honor. The transatlantic flyer was seen as heralding the advent of the modern Jewish hero: independent, courageous, and proud."I first heard one of the songs on a Klezmer disk by Kapelye, but you can hear a contemporary recording: "Levine mit Zayn Flayin Mashin" by Charles Cohen, sung in a combination of Yiddish and English, and also read the lyrics and a translation of the Yiddish portion.
Levine came to a very bad end -- when he flew, he was very rich, and paid all the expenses of the exotic and unusual voyage. Soon after he not only lost his money but involved himself in dubious schemes, even spending time in near-homelessness and even in jail.

Lost and Love an unusual and oddly satisfying picture
Starring Andy Lau. In Mandarin, with English subtitles. Rating unavailable.
The grammatically challenged English title of this lovely Chinese road movie may be hard to parse. But it is a tale of people trying to recover from losses that deprived them of love, and much more. The Chinese Shi Gu can be translated as The Way of the World, and that's a better tip-off as to the downbeat, if lyrical, tone of this unusual and oddly satisfying picture.
Hong Kong superstar Andy Lau, who usually plays sophisticated heroes in films like Blind Detective and House of Flying Daggers, goes humble as impoverished farmer Lei Zekuan, searching for the son kidnapped 17 years earlier. He has already spent innumerable seasons crossing China on his beat-up motorbike, festooned with banners depicting his abducted child and others. (The most recent leads to tedious sequences of an anguished mother flipping out at a busy intersection.)
His so-far fruitless journey has a heavy cost, and a brutal road accident on the way to Wuyi Mountain leads him to young Zeng Shuai, played by up-and-comer Jing Boran, who quietly steals the movie. Their initial scene together, a totally wordless sequence in which the man sews tattered flags while the boy pulls his broken bike apart, constitutes strikingly intimate foreshadowing.
Zeng is too old to be Lei's missing boy (there's some questionable math elsewhere), but something about the latter's quixotic mission appeals to him. Indeed, it's not long before the youngster reveals that he himself was stolen as a toddler—an amazing coincidence until you realize that roughly 300,000 children are abducted in China every year, as part of a complex human-trafficking system the movie understandably reduces to a few bad eggs.
Lost is a writing-directing debut for TV veteran Peng Sanyuan, and if she soft-pedals criticism of bureaucrats for lack of action, she makes it clear that networks of individuals in the Internet age have made a big difference in addressing the issue. The film is padded with prolonged fight-and-play sequences, but it surprises with a rare emphasis on Buddhist themes and there's a steady supply of stunningly beautiful shots, sometimes of grungy and very far-flung places.
Poland's Zbigniew Preisner contributes a lush score that's probably too melodramatic for the subtlety of the story.

The 83rd All-Star Game is at Kauffman Stadium on Tuesday. Leading up to that game, The Star is looking back at a Midsummer Classic game every day. This is the final edition.July 6, 1933 American League 4, National League 2 Comiskey Park in Chicago
The All-Star Game was the brainchild of a journalist.
Arch Ward, a sports editor for the Chicago Tribune, pushed for the game to coincide with the celebration of the city's "Century of Progress" Exposition.
It was an instant hit, even with the players.
"We wanted to see the Babe (Ruth)," said Cardinals pitcher Bill Hallahan, the National League starter. "Sure, he was old and had a big waistline, but that didn't make any difference. We were on the same field as Babe Ruth."
Ruth didn't disappoint as he hit a two-run homer in the third inning off Hallahan that helped the American League jump to a 3-0 lead.
It was the first homer in All-Star Game history.
The National League got a pair of runs back in the sixth thanks to a pair of Cardinals. Pepper Martin's groundout scored Cubs pitcher Lou Warneke and Frankie Frisch followed with a solo homer.
Earl Averill's RBI single in the bottom of the frame made it a two-run game. Lefty Grove of the Philadelphia Athletics pitched three shutout innings for the save as the American League won the first All-Star Game.
Watch Ruth's homer here:

Thanks everyone, I have an update for you- Yogi is all better and got home last night!
He is very happy to be home, and his normal, sweet energetic self again
They gave him a bath before they brought him so he is all fresh and appealing. The kids are over the moon! The only downside-Yogi is under quarantine, so it kind of kills our spring break weekend trip plans. He's going to be bored too, since he can't leave the yard. We are lucky we have a pretty big fenced back yard, so at least he can burn off some steam.

It seems that the debacle of 'Paisa Vasool' hasn't shown even least bit of effect on Nandamuri Balakrishna and director Puri Jagannath's camaraderie.
Balayya, who is known as an avid follower of astrology, has gone the extra mile for Puri as he himself advised the Muhurat time for the launch of the director's son's new film, 'Mehbooba'. To be produced and directed by Puri, the film stars Akash Puri and Neha Shetty in lead roles.
The film's Muhurutam shot was taken at 8:20 AM this morning in Himachal Pradesh on the advice of Balakrishna. Puri Jagannath thanked the senior hero for taking personal care for his son's film and also blessing him. Balayya's concern for Puri notwithstanding the result of Paisa Vasool is commendable. What's more, some reports even suggest that the duo will soon collaborate for another film.
Coming back to 'Mehbooba', the film has been described by Puri as an intense, passionate and honest love story. The director hopes to shape the career of his son with this romantic entertainer.

We understand our wholesale and distribution customers have very individual hiring needs, and we work hard to provide the best screening solutions to meet them. High turnover is an issue for a lot of wholesale/ distribution companies, and one of the best ways to combat it is thorough background screening. National Criminal Searches are crucial for employers to make good hiring decisions by screening for felony and misdemeanor convictions nationally or by state.
Drug screens are another key service to maintain a safe and productive work environment. Hair testing provides up to three months of drug use detection to stop drug abuse at the employment door. Pre-Check offers several types of urinalysis tests, the most common form of drug testing, which helps prevent worker's compensation claims through random and post-accident drug screens. Oral fluid testing is the quickest method of drug testing which allows employers to quickly test for substance abuse in a matter of minutes.
In a post-offer search, screening for worker's compensation claims helps identify those who have submitted a significant amount of claims and, therefore, may be unable to perform the duties of the job.
It is also recommended to those in this industry to obtain verified work history and references from past employers. Reference and verification services provide important insight on prospective employees' credibility, work habits, personality and dependability to help employers make informed hiring decisions.

We present new isochrone fits to color-magnitude diagrams from Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) and Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) photometry of the globular clusters M13 and M80 in five bands from the ultraviolet to near infrared. Fits from both the Dartmouth Stellar Evolution Program (DSEP) and the PAdova and TRieste Stellar Evolution Code (PARSEC) are examined. Ages, extinctions, and distances are found from the isochrone fitting, and metallicities are confirmed. We conduct careful qualitative analysis on the inconsistencies of the fits across all of the color combinations possible with the five observed bands, and find that the (F606W-F814W) color generally produces very good fits, but that there are large discrepancies when the data is fit using colors including UV bands for both models. Finally, we directly compare the two models by performing isochrone-isochrone fitting, and find that the age in PARSEC is on average 1.5 Gyr younger than DSEP for similar-appearing models at the same metallicity for globular cluster aged populations, and that the two models become less discrepant at lower metallicities.

Unity and Concord
Why the history lesson today? Well, King Sweyn's father was Harald Bluetooth - they had funny names based on rather odd peculiarities in those days - another was Thorfinn Skullsplitter, whom one might hesitate to invite for lunch. It was this Scandinavian ruler who, with his son united the warring and savage Northlanders in much the same way as Bluetooth technology unites computers, phones and PDA's. Indeed, the Bluetooth logo is his name in Nordic runes.
I wonder if the current visitors to Copenhagen are making use of the technology? It's unlikely that the sex workers' generous offer will be captured photographically by those who availed themselves of it and bluetoothed to wives and families all over the world or, indeed, whether unity and concord will flow from the deliberations of the great and the good. The picture of a sex worker is self-explanatory.

These days, people are often glued in front of their computers and laptops thanks to internet technology and social networks revolutionizing their lifestyle. And this is one factor which may affect a person's optical health and this is where reading glasses come in. There are a couple of things that you have to take note of when it comes to reading glasses. The first is that there are two kinds of reading glasses.
- Full Frames: Full frame reading glasses have the entire lens designed specifically with regard to what is prescribed by an ophthalmologist. They are often worn by people who take time in focusing on materials up close.
- Half-Eye Reading Glasses: Half-eye reading glasses are significantly smaller and comparable to the one worn by Ben Franklin. It usually sits a bit lower on the nose and gives the wearer the benefit of being able to look down and up and over the glasses to see objects from far away.
On the other hand, people who are experiencing wearing glasses the first time are recommended to wear either one of these reading glasses as oppose to the bifocals or no-line progressive lenses which are meant for people who need distance and near correction.

Constant Reading Project: Firestarter
Released: Sept. 29, 1980
Pages: 426
Screen adaptations: 1984, directed by Mark L. Lester.
Connections to other work: Government organization "The Shop" gets mentioned in The Tommyknockers and is assumed to be responsible for creating the Captain Trips superflu in The Stand.
We've entered the 1980s with King's work, and I have a confession: I've only read Firestarter once and didn't like it very much. It felt too forced to me. It lacks the organic progression of the best of King's work. In other words, in feels like he's trying too hard.
But I could be wrong. I read the novel in 2000, having avoided it for as long as I could because I didn't want to read something that seemed too much like a little girl version of Carrie White. I don't really like the movie, either. If ever something was ripe for a remake (instead of a shitty and unnecessary sequel, which is out there), this is it.
So I'm keeping an open mind this time. I'm not entirely the same person I was twelve years ago, so I'm reading this now with a different perspective. Who knows? Maybe it will be better and maybe it won't.
I'll be reading a 403-page paperback, but my next day off isn't until Monday, so it might take me longer to get through this than it took me to polish off The Dead Zone.
In other news, my wife and occasional Warning Signs contributor, Savannah started reading the next book on the list, Cujo. We might have her thoughts on that right about the time I write the introduction to it.
One last thing. Firestarter is dedicated to Shirley Jackson. If you've never The Haunting of Hill House, get your ass in gear. If all you know of Jackson is "The Lottery," and that memory is tainted by late high school or early collegiate required reading, give it another chance. While you are at it, pick up We Have Always Lived in the Castle.

Female Pattern Hair Loss

Female pattern hair loss… Does anything really work for women?
Jump to navigation
There are a number of possible reasons for female hair loss. Causes of female hair loss can range from androgenetic alopecia (female pattern hair loss) to scalp conditions, stress and illness.
Female hair loss treatment will depend on its cause. Medications like minoxidil (more commonly known as Rogaine) can help improve this condition. Other options include laser therapy, often in the form of a cap device, and hair restoration surgery, where hair is transplanted to the bald areas.
Stress, suboptimal nutrition, and illness can also be reasons for female hair loss. In addition, causes for temporary female hair loss may include iron deficiencies from anemia and post-pregnancy, thyroid disorders (such as hypothyroidism), and chemotherapy. In all cases, it is best to consult with a hair restoration surgeon to determine the causes and potential treatments for female hair loss.

Dr. Sharon Keene talks causes of Androgenic Alopecia. After the Human Genome Project, it was discovered that just having a particular gene doesn't mean you will have that disease or carry a particular trait.

About the New England Patriots
The New England Patriots are one of the National Football League's premier franchises. Since Robert Kraft purchased the team in 1994, the Patriots have won more total games (183) than any other NFL team. New England is enjoying a remarkable run of sustained success as the only NFL team to win at least nine games in each of the last nine seasons. The Patriots are one of just two teams in NFL history to win three Super Bowls in a four-year span, claiming titles following the 2001, 2003 and 2004 seasons, and in 2007 became the only team in NFL history to complete a regular season with a 16-0 record. The team is located in Foxborough, Mass. -- halfway between Boston and Providence, R.I. -- and plays home games at Gillette Stadium. Patriots fans are among the most loyal and passionate fans in the country. The Patriots have sold out each home game since 1994 and their games are consistently the highest rated television programs in the Boston market each year.

When we met in London last summer to discuss their wedding day, they told us about how they wanted a winter wedding and a photographer that was willing to run around in the snow and have some fun with them taking photos, which we were really excited for! However the weather decided not to cooperate with us this year. But that didn't stop everyone from having a great time, and enabled us to wonder around the golf course in Forest more than if there had of been 2 feet of snow to tromp through!!!
It was a special privilege not only to capture their I Do's after 12 years together, but also to capture a photo in the place were Mike asked Callie to marry him, at the Golf course in Forest.
A big thanks to Mike & Callie for choosing us to capture their special day! As always it was an honour, privilege and joy to us!

The Mayor of London Boris Johnson said there is currently "no breach of the law" in relation to mobile taxi app Uber following a protest by black cab drivers in central London on Wednesday.
He said: "our advice at the moment in TFL (Transport for London) is that there's no breach of the law.
"We cannot magic the internet out of existence...we are now testing in the court whether or not (Uber) is illegal."
Central London was brought to a standstill earlier when approximately 12,000 taxicab drivers protested against Uber operating like taxi meters, with prices based on journey distances. Private cars are not allowed to operate in this manner.
The protest, organised by the Licensed Taxi Drivers Association, promised "severe chaos, congestion and confusion across the metropolis" in the capital.
Transport for London has reached a preliminary ruling that permits Uber to operate, but referred the case to the High Court for clarification.
The LTDA claims Uber should be banned or regulated differently.

A brief rudimentary lesson on tuning and some CBG basics.
Views: 7524
A friend told me about this video. Thanks, it is very informative and inspiring. I'm brand new to the world of CBG's.
Uncle John sent me.Great lesson, I've made my first one bout a week ago I think one of the mistakes I made was fretting it (thought it would look cooler) just makes a lot of knocking noise when I try to slide.I have better luck playing it on my lap.
Thanks For The Info On Your Video, Uncle John sent me Your Way For Lesson 101.
Thanks and May God Bless!
Wow That was great.
Kevin, I just sent a friend to this lesson and listened again myself. YOU ARE STILL THE MAN. Best lesson ever. God bless. And I agree with Thor.

Hello SAP experts
In my query I joined tables VBRP and VBAP. I run the query for one invoice. The result is: I see for this one invoice several records. That is clear because table VBPA contains partners.
I would like to see for one invoice only one line and partner roles I would like to see in column.
Do you have any idea how to do it?
Thank you very much

Connected to the Solar Park Romande Energie – EPFL, an experimental energy storage device the size of a shipping container, developed by Leclanche will be installed on the campus of the School, with the financial support of the canton of Vaud.
One step closer in the search for new solutions for renewable energy storage.
As part of its "100 million for renewable energy and energy efficiency," the canton of Vaud Laboratory allocates some two million Swiss francs for electrical systems distributed by Professor Mario Paolone EPFL, in order to place a comprehensive system of energy storage.
Scientists want to study new solutions to industrial type to store solar energy and then distribute it to optimally during peak consumption during the day. The heart of the device developed by Leclanche based on a lithium-ion battery innovative titanate, which uses titanate instead of the traditional graphite. It will operate in conjunction with the Romande Energie at EPFL solar park, one of the largest solar electric installations by Suisse Romande. This pilot project meets the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL), Leclanche SA, Romande Energie and the State of Vaud.
"The storage of electrical energy through the use of high-capacity batteries and long life is a challenge that determines the massive integration of renewable energy for electricity generation. This partnership will allow us to validate the technologies used to store solar energy on an industrial scale, says Professor Paolone. The issue is very important."
A lab on campus
About the size of a shipping container, the storage device will be connected to Leclanche photovoltaic plant installed by EPFL and Romande Energie an area of 15,000 m2. The container will be equipped with lithium-ion titanate cells Leclanche high performance with a very long life, with approximately 15,000 charge-discharge cycles, usually against 3000. To increase the safety of the device, a patented ceramic separator Leclanche be a key element. This would be complemented by a sophisticated management system.
"We welcome this collaboration adds Fabrizio Marzolini, Development Manager at Leclanche SA energy storage systems. This is the best way to share high technology developed in Leclanche and scientific research to enable us to remain at the forefront of innovations that serve the vital energy transition. "Jacqueline de Quattro, head of the Department of Planning and the Environment of the Canton of Vaud, welcomed for his part that" public money is wisely invested in an innovative project that is in line with our strategy to support energy renewable. "
Proving ground, the storage unit of industrial size can store up to 500 kWh, equivalent to the electricity production of 2,500 square meters of solar panels in an hour or consumption of one hundred households during a day while managing power variations related to sunlight.
"This joint research will develop the contribution of PV to the Swiss energy supply, says Christian Brother, Director Business Unit Energy Romande Energie."
Research related to container will last 23 months and will optimize the operation of various components.

Bryce hooked into a octopus which he originally thought was a snag. I was able to get some pretty sweet underwater shots while it was next to his kayak. The octopus was kept and enjoyed. It swallowed a pretty large hook so its survival was unlikely. I used a Kodak Playsport (Zx3) to film this.
Further info for the people commenting:
This animal was not wasted. Its sacrifice was well respected among those that did eat it. I'm not a biologist of any kind, but a simple search on the internet shows that octopuses are not a rare animal. In fact, there is evidence that suggests they are overpopulated in their range. They have a life-span of 3 to 5 years so I'm guessing because of its size that this one was nearing the end of that span. So, I would rather it be killed quickly and not wasted than it be set free to suffer and starve for the last year or so of its life with a six inch hook in its mouth.

I go out to The Logan River where I get STABBED by one of the worlds DEADLIEST fish but still manage to catch some Bull sharks.
By the way, thank you for all the amazing comments and support you have been giving me over the past few months - it is so great to hear from you all :)It would really mean a lot if you would share my videos around to your friends and family and encourage them to subscribe. Make sure you tick the box to be notified as soon as my videos are released.
The Story: Well over the past few weeks I've been searching for Bull Sharks and after traveling to a few different places, using different bait and I had NO LUCK. Then my Uncle Steven told me that one of the best places to catch BULL SHARKS is in the Logan River, and the 2 best baits to use is freshwater eel, or live mullet. So a week later I travelled up to Logan & went fishing with him to try and catch some Bull Sharks so we could show you how to catch and release a Shark. After heading out to the junction of the Logan & Albert Rivers, we threw the anchor down, chucked in the baits and

House Siding for Killeen, TX, Residents Ready to Breathe New Life into Their Homes
The main function of house siding is to create a barrier between the outside world and the interior of your Killeen, Texas, home. Today's modern siding is designed to keep out wind, rain, and pests. But while these potentially destructive forces should never infiltrate behind your cladding, there is one element that needs to exit if your house siding is to provide the maximum amount of protection – water vapor. Vapor trapped behind siding can encourage the growth of mold and mildew, the most common cause of "sick building syndrome". At Woodbridge Home Exteriors, we offer Killeen, TX, homeowners our exclusive line of Woodbridge Classic vinyl house siding, which is 500 percent more breathable than ordinary cladding. This allows water vapor to evaporate quickly so your home's underlay will stay dry and mold free.
In addition to being exceptionally breathable, Woodbridge Classic vinyl siding:
- Is insulated to minimize the thermal bridging responsible for heat gain in the summer and heat loss in the winter, making your home more energy efficient and reducing the workload on your HVAC unit
- Resists both impacts and color fading, so your house siding will retain its like-new luster for years to come
- Can be cleaned with just a quick spray from a garden hose, making your home's exterior exceptionally easy to maintain
For premium house siding that keeps interior structures dry, turn to the experts at Woodbridge Home Exteriors. We're a family-owned company that has earned its A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau by providing outstanding craftsmanship and customer service to homeowners throughout Killeen, TX. Contact us today to schedule a no-obligation consultation with one of our siding specialists. When you do, be sure to ask about the many financing options we offer customers with approved credit.

If you have a good idea you want to capitalise on "just don't blab about it", warns Jeremy Philpott of the Patent Office. If you do, there is a good chance you will not be able to register or patent the idea or product.
Philpott, himself a qualified patent examiner, acknowledges that the "entry-test" to being granted a patent is "harsh". But, as he points out, the whole concept of patent protection and exclusivity is underpinned by practical legality.
"Before seeking a patent, you may wish to discuss your idea with someone like a venture capitalist or a firm that could help you make a product. That is quite understandable. But it cannot be emphasised too strongly that if you mention it to anybody, get them to sign a confidentiality agreement first."
Talking about an idea in any forum whatsoever, even a professional one such as a medical convention, will count as being in the public domain. Philpott says that articles in publications, however specialist and highbrow, are considered in the same light when it comes to patent applications and thus "they fall at the first hurdle.
To successfully register a patent, it must not have been in the public domain in any way, shape or form."
Setting such high entry standards first and foremost protects the people who have the idea. But the Patent Office is also there to give constructive help, says Philpott.
"When you first come up with whatever it is, you can search the patent database and use it to check out the competition or marketplace. You also have to ensure that you are not infringing an existing patent.
"On the other hand, someone may very well already have a patent on it, but it was a long time ago and nothing has been done about it since, so it has lapsed.
"You might find, too, that a company has already patented A, B and C of what you are thinking about. But what you have got is the vital missing D ingredient that will make the original idea work so much better. Then you might be able to come to a licensing agreement with them."
The Patent Office, which is based in Newport, South Wales, having moved from London in 1991, has also contributed to the BBC's step-by-step guide on how to proceed along the patent road..
Almost half of the Patent Office's 1,000 staff work in the Patents Directorate, some 250 of whom are patent examiners. Officially, it is an Executive Agency of the DTI, operating as a Trading Fund, run on its own revenue and returning six per cent on capital each year.
The latest figures show that in 2001, the Patent Office received 30,576 applications, of which 20,935 originated in the UK. It then "searched" - or investigated - around 17,500 applications and "published" 12,103. Publication does not necessarily mean that a patent has been granted, but it is, nevertheless, still considered to be in the public domain. The process is indeed rigorous: 11,600 applications were then "examined" - a step on from the search stage - and the final figure for patents granted was 7,562, of which 2,788
originated in the UK.
How it all began
The origins of patents for invention are by the office's own admission "obscure", although it is thought to have started in the 15th century when the Crown started making specific grants of privilege to manufacturers and traders. Britain does, however, have the longest continuous patent tradition in the world, according to the Patent Office.
The first grants were signified by Letters Patent, open letters marked with the King's Great Seal. The earliest known English Patent for invention was granted by Henry VI to the Flemish-born John of Utynam in 1449.
The patent also gave him a 20-year monopoly for a method of making stained glass, required for the windows of Eton College, that had not been previously known in England.
In later years, Elizabeth I was an enthusiastic issuer of patents. Between 1561 and 1590 she granted 50, whereby the recipients were able to exercise monopolies in the manufacture and sale of commodities such as soap, saltpetre, alum, leather, glass, knives, starch, iron and paper.
The Queen did reject some, though, such as an application for a patent from Sir John Harrington for his design for a water closet. She did so on the grounds of "propriety".
The patent system, however, became the subject of abuse and Royal Patronage. In 1610, James I was forced by mounting judicial criticism and public outcry to revoke all previous patents with the exception of "projects of new invention so they be not contrary to the law nor mischievous to the State".
The public interest doctrine was introduced into the patent system for the first time and incorporated in the Statute of Monopolies of 1624. For the next 200 years it was developed through the work of the courts without government regulation.
But in time, and covering some famous disputes, such as those over Arkwright's famous spinning machines and Watt's 1796 patent for steam, the patent system again fell into disrepute.
Charles Dickens even wrote a spoof, A Poor Man's Tale of a Patent, in the popular journal Household Words.
New reforms and legislation were introduced in 1852 and 1883 and again in 1902 and the last time in 1977 with the Patents Act.
The British inventions that have been granted patents in the past are now a part of our everyday lives, many we just take for granted. Last month, on March 23, for example, was the centenary of the Orville and Wilbur Wright flying machine they invented and patented.
Other homespun inventions include computers, the Pill, the aspirin, the jet engine, flushing lavatories and, indeed, the man who invented Velcro, inspired by a stuck zipper on his wife's dress.

Lasca's has been open in Auburn since 1987. Its website boasts that they've had the same chefs for 20 years and that 90 percent of the clientele are regulars. We can see why.
Although we had never been there before, we felt at home as soon as we walked past the happy, busy bar area and were seated in a quiet corner of the dining room. Throughout our meal, our friendly, professional server somehow made us feel as if we were at a friend's house.
Serving a broad menu that focuses on Italian classics and fresh seafood, Lasca's also sells frozen entrees to take home as well as a lighter "patio menu" to supplement the regular dinner menu. The restaurant serves fish specials on Fridays, and on weekends dinners built around prime rib.
We began by ordering a bottle of Sonoma Heritage Rancho Zabaco Zinfandel ($24) from a long list of mostly inexpensive wines. While this one did not have the deep flavor of some zinfandels we've tried, its fruity, light taste and moderate dryness fit perfectly with the red sauces that would be the focus of our dinner.
From appetizers that range from $6 to $16, we chose the Grilled Shrimp ($11) and Broccoli Parmagiana ($7). Though slightly overdone, the shrimp were very large and tasted delightfully of the charcoal grill. The simple sauce that accompanied them was a delicious blend of butter and lemon.
The broccoli appetizer could easily have served, with the dinner salad, as a main course. Its treatment was similar to eggplant parmigiana, lightly breaded with a deeply flavored red sauce and covered with cheese. It was delicious, but we took most of it home because we knew our main courses were coming.
Our server had warned us when we ordered the Italian Combination Platter ($19) that we would be taking food home. After the substantial appetizers and the excellent warm crusty bread and beautifully fresh dinner salads that come with main courses at Lasca's, we knew she was right. But even her warning hadn't prepared us for the mountain of lasagna, ravioli, penne ziti, and cappellini with two huge meatballs that came to the table. We were beginning to understand why everyone left with a bag full of leftovers.
Lasca's serves substantial food, but it's the quality that makes them special. These meatballs had been simmered for a long time to achieve their consistently tender texture, and their seasoning was just right. The lasagna was made properly with layers of sausage and ricotta. The perfectly cooked cappellini was some of the thinnest we had ever had.
The same capellini was the basis of our Haddock and Shrimp with Red Pesto ($26). In this dish, the haddock was cooked to tenderness and combined with the shrimp to lend a flavor to the red sauce that was not fishy but slightly suggestive of the sea. With a pretty pile of wilted fresh spinach on top, it was all simply delicious.
By the time we had made a small dent in our main courses, we were curious about split plate fees at Lasca's. Our server told us it costs $3.95 to share a dinner, a price that seemed fair to us, given the amount served and the extra work of serving it to two people.
Having packed up most of our main courses for more dinners later, we moved on to dessert. Desserts are all made in-house at Lasca's. We chose the Frozen Chocolate Raspberry Torte ($5.50) and the Dark Chocolate Cake with Strawberries ($7).
The chocolate cake was rich and delicious, served with very fresh berries, good vanilla ice cream and custard. But the chocolate-raspberry dessert was outrageously good! Served in a large pool of fresh raspberry puree with several big fresh whole berries, it was both light and rich, if that's possible. This is a dessert worth more than its price.
The owners of Lasca's were trained at the Culinary Institute of America, and it shows. We enjoyed three red sauces during our evening there, each one distinctly different from the others. The "tomato oil" that came with the crusty bread was a spicy, very light tomato sauce. The red sauce on both the broccoli appetizer and the Italian combination platter was rich and thick. The "red pesto" on our seafood special was a lighter chunky tomato sauce. Each sauce suited its dish beautifully.
It's easy to see why Lasca's has been around for so long. With not a breath of pretension, the place serves delicious food in a homey atmosphere. We will certainly return and try their carry out service as well. We've even put it on our list of places to take our family when they visit.
